Buying a new house but still crave that rustic heritage charm? Here's how to infuse your home with Goa-inspired heritage elements.
If you're looking for a soft, rustic lighting for your backyard or garden, consider adding cane basket to your light, to make it look elegant and beautiful. You can also place them artistically on the wall.
Oyster shells bring a unique appeal and are deeply intertwined with Goan households. They can be used to enhance the visual appeal of window panes, as well as to create detailed cutwork by embedding them in wood.
A lot of old alcohol or liquor bottles can be found in Goa. These can be used artistically to style the corners of the bar or dining area, or simply as showpieces.
While we're open to the idea of smart doors that automatically open and prioritise safety, why not also consider the charm of an old-fashioned door with a latch, reminiscent of days gone by?
Macao crockery can be easily found in most old Goan homes, hinting back to the trade that existed long ago. You can use these crockery to either design your walls with it, or display it in a wooden glass cupboard.
